Thrombosis Flashcards
Thrombus thrombosis
Solidification of blood contents forms within vascular system during life
Thrombosis is how it is formed
What can cause thrombosis
Virchows triad
Abnormal blood flow
Hypercoagulability
Endothelial injury
Endothelial injury
Formation thrombi in heart and arteries
At sites of MI
ulcerated plaques in atherosclerosis
Injured endocardium
Valves with inflammatory valve disease and prosthetic valves
Radiation chemical bacteria immunological do plastic
Platelets role
Platelet undergo 3 important reactions after injury
Adhesion
Secretion
Aggregation
Pathogenesis endothelial injury
Vasoconstriction - endothelin
Hemostasis - ADP, TXA, Pf4, vWF Platelets adhesion Shape change Granule release ADO TXA2 Recruitment Aggregation
Secondary hemostasis
Tissue factor, release of phospholipid complex expression, thrombin activation, fibrin polymerisation
Thrombus and antithrombotix events
Release tPA and thrombomodulin
Trapped blood cells and neutrophils
Deficiency of Gpllblla
Glanzmanns theombasthenia
Defiency od Gplb
Bernard doilies syndrome
Deficiency of Von willebrand factoe
Von willbrand disease
Alterations in normal blood flow
Tuberulence contributes to development of arterial and cardiac thrombi
Stasis contributes to venous thrombosis
Turbulence and stasis
Disrupt laminar flow
Prevent dilution of coagulation factors
Stop clotting factor inhibitors
Promote endothelial cell activation
Hypercoagulability
Alteration of blood coagulation mechanism which predisposes thrombosis
Primary genetic - mutation v gene leiden mutation, antithrombin deficieny lll, protein c and sndeficiency
Secondary acquired - high risk bed rest immobilisation, tissue damage prosthetic valves DIC smoking sickle cell anaemia
Morphology of thrombi
Mural thrombi
Arterial thrombi
Venous thrombosis
Mural thrombi
Applied to one wall of underlying structure
Occurs in capacious lumina of Heart chambers and aorta
Arterial thrombosis
In coronary arteries, cerebral and femoral arteries
Thrombi hydrology
Laminations called lines of Zahn
Pale band is fibrin and platelets
Red band is RBCs
Venous thrombosis
Occlusive dark red
Affect veins of lower legs 90
Deep calf femoral popliteal iliac veins
Thrombophlebitis- inflamed and thrombosis
